According to the news of European Pravda, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, Western states will sooner or later decide to send American F-16 warplanes to Ukraine. According to him, the story of warplanes will be the same as the supply of other weapons.
“There will be F-16s – it’s just a matter of time. I think it will depend on the decision of the USA and the results of the counterattack. Now if we already had F-16s, our counteroffensive would have been much faster,” he said.
As the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine pointed out, the supply of fighter jets to Kiev is one of the priorities of military support. He added that the country needs shells for artillery and armored vehicles, as well as warplanes.
Earlier media, U.S. congressmen pressure on the President of the United States Joe Biden to ensure the rapid transport of F-16 multi-purpose warplanes and longer-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine. As noted, despite this, Washington still holds its position and does not consider the possibility of sending such weapons.
